Seriously, I'm floored by some of the high scores on this test. You know who would score really high on such a test? A MASTER SOCIOPATH.
Yeah, chew on that.
Or...are people really as "good" as they say you should be?
I'm having trouble digesting this one...
Most of the questions on the test only ask you how you FEEL or initially react to things, not the decisions you make, your moral reasoning, and how you act or treat others. To me, the questionnaire doesn't make sense. When people look at you and decide how well-adjusted you are (or aren't) and how "socially desirable" you are, they don't know your internal universe, they only see and judge you based on what you present to the world and how you act. The test didn't cover any of that.
Also, people are bastards and have bastardly instincts. That's nothing new. The whole point of civilization and civility is making ethical judgements about desired behavior and counteracting baser instincts through intense peer pressure.
It's better to embrace and acknowledge the sucky knee jerk reactions you may have and work on them rather than say your modified behavior is your natural instinct. Cause the latter messes up your head game.
It's one thing to WANT to smack an obnoxious person because they won't STFU while you're trying to watch a movie. It's an entirely other thing to actually do it. Big difference.
Am I seriously being uncharitable towards my fellow wo/man and also forumers? Nah...I don't think so.
FWIW, with my bastardly score of 5, most people who know me IRL think I'm one of the most inoffensive, nonthreatening people they know. They think I'm friendly and even huggy and pretty sociable. Maybe I should act on my bastardly instincts more.
